A surprisingly downbeat follow-up to director Noam Gonick's tweaked-out Hey, Happy! Go to Full Review

If it does nothing else, Stryker, a grim little gang melodrama directed by Noam Gonick, might dispel some American assumptions about life in Canada. Go to Full Review

The sense of scalding realism withers on the vine without any convincing line readings. Go to Full Review

Apr 14, 2013 If it does nothing else, Stryker, a grim little gang melodrama directed by Noam Gonick, might dispel some American assumptions about life in Canada. See more Mar 20, 2009 A noble attempt to explore Winnipeg's North End in all its grit and filth. The opening credits provided a montage of residential schools and reservation life, but the rest of the film really ignores the context that has lead to gangs like the Indian Posse. The film doesn't live up to the billing of being Winnipeg's Boyz in the Hood, but it does explore an aspect of Winnipeg life that is largely ignored and marginalized. Better acting would have greatly improved things as well. See more Feb 24, 2008 fucking litttle punk deucers got destroyed by IP hahahaha.... See more Jan 2, 2008 Good, tough, raw, little movie about gang wars in Winnipeg. A teenage arsonist becomes trapped between the two factions vying for power. Scratch the surface of this one and you'll find much to appreciate; it's also shot beautifully, and gives you a bareknuckle view of matters often ignored by mainstream society. See more Jun 17, 2007 So good. How could I not like a movie featuring native drag queens prostituting themselves in the North End of Winnipeg? I really like how in "Hey, Happy!" there was a little sub-plot of the fire bugs and in "Stryker" the main character was a fire bug. Also, the native accents were superb. Noam Gonick is badass See more Apr 14, 2007 The Best Neechie movie there is !!!! See more Read all reviews
